London-area MP wants leadership review of Hockey Canada amid sexual assault allegations
A London, Ont., region Conservative MP wants to see a leadership review of Hockey Canada as hearings continue into how the governing body handled allegations of sexual assault.
“Within Hockey Canada, when they knew there was a problem, why did they just stop looking?” Vecchio said.The question comes as Tuesday marked the first day of hearings held by the House of Commons heritage committee, which were prompted after Sports Minister Pascale St-Onge ordered a financial audit of an out-of-court settlement involving a woman who alleged she was sexually assaulted by junior hockey players following a Hockey Canada event in London in 2018.
On Tuesday, a senior director of Sport Canada said the federal organization was made aware of the incident in late June of that year but did not follow up with Hockey Canada over the next four years.
